Jeff Martin’s – The Black Snake Blues

With the guitar on your knees you can bring some of the finest blues around. Texas bluesman Black Ace sho’ knew how to play the squire-necked guitar. He showed us that you can really bring the blues feelling to your audience this way. The Black Snake Blues performed by Jeff Martin is a song that has a similar thrill, it brings you back to the delta, and I try to imagine how this would sound on a lonesome porch or what melancholic place you would like.

Solo album Jeff Martin ‘Exile and the Kingdom’

Jeff Martin a former member of Canadian alternative band The Tea Party. After the Tea Party announced an extended break Martin moved to Ireland to record his debut solo album titled Exile and the Kingdom. One of the fine songs on this album is Black Snake Blues. The title is derived from the 1957 book of the same name by Albert Camus.

This isn’t about the punk classic “London Calling”, we are calling Chicago, through British bluesman Cyril Davies. His “Chicago Calling” is everything a good blues song needs. Kicking off with a killer honky-tonk Piano tune, and wild swinging harmonica melodies the up-tempo vocals start in. “Chicago Calling” is enjoyable every one of the 145 seconds.
